View Draft Report
Before transferring to Texas A&M, Dallas was a high-leverage contributor for Texas Tech, both out of the bullpen and as a starter. As a full-time starter for the Aggies this spring, the 6-foot-2, 215-pound redshirt junior notched a 7-3 record in 18 appearances, starting 16 of them. The veteran righty is at his best when his 80-84 mph slider is working. It is his primary pitch, and it’s difficult to handle when on. His fastball can be effective, too. It doesn’t have premium velocity, sitting 90-92, but it does possess sink and run. It complements his slider well, darting the opposite way. Dallas has good feel for his changeup that breaks like his sinker, keeping lefthanded hitters honest. He has a bulldog approach that allows him to attack hitters. He gets himself into trouble when the slider command isn’t there and he finds himself working from behind, relying strictly on his fastball. With one more year of eligibility, Dallas could return to College Station to finish off his collegiate career.

Dallas was Texas Tech’s Friday starter as a true freshman. He was the team’s closer in 2020 as a sophomore. This year he did a little of both. Dallas made 10 starts, but also made seven relief appearances and worked exclusively as a reliever in the postseason. Dallas has a solid track record of success, average control and an above-average slider. He throws the slider nearly as often as his fastball. Opponents hit only .137 against it and they swung and missed 60% of the time when they offered at it. The rest of his stuff is harder to feel confident about. Dallas has lost a tick on his fringe-average fastball from where he sat as a starter as a freshman. This year he sat 88-90 mph, touching 93. He did maintain that velocity throughout his starts. He does not command and have much confidence in a below-average changeup. Dallas is competitive, has shown he can handle a variety of roles and has feel for pitching. That combination is enticing, even if he doesn’t have a second average pitch as of yet.
